Dark Energy Recordings

Artist: Palm Skin Productions
Title: Done
Format: MP3 Album
Cat No.: DE004
Release Date: 20th April 2009 ( Beatport.com ), 18th May 2009 (General)

Fourth time round here at Dark Energy Recordings and after the success of Daniel Kyo's "Shake It" EP we bring you the mighty Palmskin Productions.

Discerning DJs should know Palmskin from his previous EPs on Freerange. The trainspotters amongst you will remember him from way back when on the Mo'Wax label.

Palmskin's Done has been parked firmly in our CD wallet for some time now and has been slowly gathering steam ahead of this official release. The breakdown in Done is an absolute monster and has raised the roof during recent Milton Jackson & Shur-i-kan gigs.

Talking of Shur-i-kan, the man himself steps up for remix duties and remains respectful to the original whilst injecting some additional dancefloor energy to the groove. This is coupled together with a Curly-esque growling bassline for maximum impact. Bass-bin insurance is probably a good move before playing this out!

Finishing off the package is a warped and wonderful track called Pig Iron. With its twisted chords, amazing ambience and subtle jazz touches this will appeal to the deeper heads and fans of Pepe Bradock's earlier releases.

Nick Warren

"oooooph! in a seeming world of bland hausdip these tracks stand out a mile. All 3 tracks got a bit of dirt to them. If I had to choose I'd probably go for the Shur I Kan mix, but I expect to play all of 'em"

Leigh Morgan

"Awesome release here, i'm really into the Shur-i-Kan mix of Done, but the orignal is also great, love the breakdown section. Just starting my US tour tonight, so i'll try this out for sure. Thanks a lot for sending, full support!"
Guillame Gambel

"simply ridiculous (and I mean that quite positively). the original might have just made my hotel room walls melt. or at least it seems that way from the musical psychotropics this tune has injected into my brain. Shur-I-Kan mix comes correct as well. it all fits in nicely in my wilder sets, and they are all a little bit wild these days. cheers for it!"
Q-Burns Abstract Message

"Ah yes, yes please! I remember Barry Milton J playing 'Done' in a mix a while back, had to ask him about it and I'm very pleased to have it now to play - It's wicked. Shur-i-kan mix is a piece of class as well. Finishing off with the deepness of Pig Iron, this EP is really really good. Thanks A"
